Burden Lyrics by Foy Vance

The Wild Swan

2016

[Verse 1: Foy Vance]
Let me carry your burden
If something’s not right I will let you know
Like the paint that’s drying on a heart that’s broke
Let me carry your burden

[Verse 2: Foy Vance]
Get you back on a high when you’re feeling low
When the weight’s too heavy but you won’t let go

[Chorus: Foy Vance]
Come to me my brother and I will sit with you awhile
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile
And you know you will
No matter how much you are hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
So let me carry your burden
Let me carry your burden

[Verse 3: Foy Vance]
When your mouth’s on fire but your mind is cold
And you’re fanning flames that won’t keep you warm

[Chorus-Variation: Foy Vance]
Come to me my brother and I will sit with you awhile
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile
And you know you will
No matter how much you are hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
Let me carry your burden, O brother mine
Let me carry your burden

[Verse 4: Foy Vance]
Come tomorrow you’ll be right as rain
It’ll quench your fire
Wash away your stains

[Chorus-Variation: Foy Vance]
Come to me my brother and I will sit with you awhile
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile
And you know you will
No matter how much you are hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time

[Outro: Foy Vance]
Oh I just might see it in another light
Got no dog here in the fight
I could carry your burden
O brother mine
